Well done semi documentary style with good acting

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 1999)

To present the D-Day invasion on screen from as many scales as it was is a monumental task. Darryl F. Zanuck did it about as good as it could ever be done. He presented it semi-documentary with the right amount of subplots using a selection of some of the best actors at the time in various cameo roles. No one actor is the star of this film. The result is an epic war film that should be seen by any one who enjoys war/military films. The film does not honor one side more than the other but simply tells the story of events that day from the nations that took part.
